| Özet |
| The production of Z bosons in proton-proton (pp) collisions is described by the Drell-Yan process [1], where a quark and an antiquark from the colliding protons annihilate into a Z boson. At the CERN LHC, this Z boson is commonly produced with accompanying parton radiation via quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which provides a superb opportunity to gain a better theoretical understanding of both strong and electroweak physics in a jet environment. Specifically, events containing Z boson decays into oppositely charged lepton pairs (electrons and muons, but not taus) allow a sensitive evaluation of the accuracy of perturbative QCD [2–4] at the highest accessible energies for a broad range of kinematic configurations.A precise understanding of the pp→ Z (→ l+l−) process is also critical in other standard model (SM) measurements, where it is an important background in studies of the properties of Higgs boson, and in analyses focusing on physics beyond the SM such as searches for dark matter and supersymmetric particles. The clean and readily identifiable signature and relatively large production rate for this process provide an opportunity to accurately constrain the parton distribution functions (PDFs) and probe the strong coupling strength αS. |
